Mike Dudas and Neeraj Agrawal have never used bitcointalk.org, I reckon hehehe. It appears that they are innocent of the certainty that there are farmed accounts and clickbots all around the internet. That Forbes journalist should investigate why the clickbots stopped!  Now, some influential members of the bitcoin and crypto community have complained Twitter has "shadow-banned" them, limiting their reach and impressions.
"They’re doing it, people," tech investor and founder of bitcoin and cryptocurrency news and analysis website The Block, Mike Dudas, said. "Crypto Twitter has been shadow-banned. I’ve noticed this on my account this week."
Dudas was commenting on a complaint made by crypto developer Anthony Sassano who said: "Any tweets that I post get way less impressions than normal."
"I think [Twitter] limited tweet reach [and] impressions," said Neeraj Agrawal of Washington D.C.-based cryptocurrency policy think tank Coin Center.Read in full https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2020/04/30/twitter-starts-shock-war-with-bitcoin-and-crypto/ |

I speculate on uncle Dana's new storyboard for UFC lightweight might be Conor to fight winner of El Cucuy versus Justin Gaethje for 2020. During a Reddit AMA, White responded to a fan who asked if he believes Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson will happen before 2020 comes to a close (via MMAJunkie.com).
“How confident are you that Khabib and Tony will fight at some point this year?” White was asked by a commenter.
“Not very.” White said, following up with, “I’m afraid of what will happen next if we try to make that happen again.”Source https://www.mmanews.com/dana-white-admits-he-doubts-khabib-vs-tony-ferguson-happens-in-2020/Also, this statement from a person who has experience on fighting Conor. It appears Dana also knows this. Alvarez spoke to James Lynch of theScore MMA and explained why he feels McGregor would best Ferguson if the two ever share the Octagon (h/t BJPenn.com).
“I think Conor would put Tony away. I’d like to see him fight Gaethje, but I’m off the belief he beats Gaethje, but I would like to see the fight. I’d still like to see it. I don’t like the style matchup for him with Khabib. I don’t think he has enough experience in that realm to overcome Khabib at any point.”Source https://www.mmanews.com/eddie-alvarez-thinks-conor-mcgregor-would-stop-tony-ferguson/ |

Also, it is stupid to assume that Trump suggested to people to ingest disinfectants. Stop listening to mainstream news media. Well, he didn't say: "Drink disinfectants, then you will be fine". But he speculated about internally use of disinfectanct being effective against the virus and that they should have a look at this matter - at an official, nation-wide televised, press conference. Every sane person is of course aware that this is life-threatening, but you will always have people, anywhere in the world, who will take that for real and just give it a shot. As a politician you just can't say such things, it's careless, because there is always that one dumb person, who will take everything for real and these people need to be protected. You put peoples life into danger and Trump should have known. There are cases, where people drank disinfectants now in the last days because of his weird speculations. In Germany, if Merkel said such things, there is no way she would still be Chancellor the next day. I know the US is different and if Trump would walk on water, CNN would say, look, he can't even swim, but he crossed a red line there imo. Can you post the video where he said this and how he said it? I reckon the mainstream news media have this craftiness of creating clickbait articles and spinning the real issues. |

I don't get the logic behind the statement below: “While the price per coin may stagnate during a period of aggressive economic deflation, the inherent buying power of the currency will actually rise, possibly quite significantly,”
What are the reasons for Bitcoin price to stagnate, in the first place? If cash is getting more value, then some of Bitcoin holders, even some whales maybe, can start exchanging their BTC for cash, and the BTC price can start dropping because of that. (Not saying that this is what going to happen, though. With trillions of newly printed USD, hardly it will start getting more value/purchasing power). That statement is speculating that despite the economy might contract, the purchasing power will rise because it is the price of items sold that are going down. I understand this, but why should we imply that Bitcoin price would stagnate during this time? We all know that Bitcoin price doesn't depend on the events in the physical world, and that's why it's so unpredictable. The purchasing power of 1 BTC can rise 100% in a matter of weeks, or drop 50% in the same time-frame. The effect of fiat deflation/inflation on the Bitcoin purchasing power is so negligible that we can safely ignore it. It might be because the writer of that article also understands and accepts that bitcoin is usually only used as a speculative investment today. In a condition of economic deflation, the velocitiy of money is down, the amount of money every that human being owns is low and economic activity is also very slow. |

@bitmover. Need a people friendly coin might not also be the correct way of thinking.
Well, that's the motivation behind satoshi nakamoto and the whole cypherpunk /cryptoanarchy movement. If you take a look at Bitcoin Whitepaper, the first reference is Wei Dai Bmoney, which begins with: I am fascinated by Tim May's crypto-anarchy. Unlike the communities traditionally associated with the word "anarchy", in a crypto-anarchy the government is not temporarily destroyed but permanently forbidden and permanently unnecessary. It's a community where the threat of violence is impotent because violence is impossible, and violence is impossible because its participants cannot be linked to their true names or physical locations. http://www.weidai.com/bmoney.txtIf that's not people friendly coin, I don't know what it is then. It also appears that many people in the cryptospace have not understood why bitcoin security should be costly.
The cost of bitcoin security is what keep people friendly currency safe.  I reckon that is a libertarian idea. It has some weak assumptions on what the world might be under anarchy and also has too much assumptions that it is only government that causes all the violence. In any case, I know what you are telling me. I would not use the term people friendly, however. |

However, Trump was taking he coronavirus seriously from the beginning. On February, he ordered that some of the flights from China should be cancelled. This was against the advice of his advisers on health care.
What was he called by mainstream media after the order? Yes, a racist.
There are arguments both in favor and against Trump in this subject. It is true that he stopped the flights from China against the advice of the experts. But at the same time, he delayed the lockdown measures until it was too late. And on top of that, I am surprised by his trust on Hydroxychloroquine, which according to the medical experts have not yet proven to be effective against COVID 19. He did not delay the lockdowns. He left that decision on the governors because they knew better of each of their situations in each state. Also, it is stupid to assume that Trump suggested to people to ingest disinfectants. Stop listening to mainstream news media. |

I speculate another round of ICO cleansing in America that might lead to another major dump after a series of all time high pumps hehehehe. I predict this to occur on 2022.  A lawyer who led a federal investigation into the darknet market Silk Road is now the top lawyer at the New York Department of Financial Services.
Richard Weber was the head of the Internal Revenue Service’s criminal division for five years and ran the agency’s investigation into Silk Road, the online platform that launched in early 2011 and became notorious for allowing people to use Bitcoin to buy and sell illegal drugs, hacking services and other illicit activities.Read in full https://dailyhodl.com/2020/04/28/new-york-regulators-new-general-counsel-played-key-role-in-silk-road-investigation/ |

However, this would also imply that there might be less people holding the coin and less people spending their coins. This will also end in low adoption, more business closures and failures. |

@smooth. I did not mean make blocks smaller. Make blocks more efficient for the data utilizing the space outside of the space for transactions.
Also, is the research lab working on something like this on Monero?

Bitcoin will be on $10k for the end of 2020 according to Tone Vays. I reckon many of his critics might be beginning to listen to him after making the correct prediction of bitcoin dumped to $4k, 1 month before it occured hehehe.
that is why Youtube is flushing all the people like him out of their platform. they make some random guess and when it comes true they milk it as much as they can and mislead an even larger number of newbies who are desperately confused about the market situation and want someone to tell them what to do. hehe. Tone Vays channel is available in Youtube. In any case, was the guess really random? He was correct on his last guess only from analyzing the price chart. He might not be 100% correct, however, he might be more correct than many analysts? Does Tone share his trading record? |

I reckon the writer of the article never considered what occurs in a global deflation. What really will occur is stagflation. Where cash will also not be king.

@bigslimvdub @estenity. Is the pumper whale who might be the americanpegasus trading on Tradeogre? Bittrex has more trading volume.
In any case, that would 945 sat print imply? There will be a dump?

Petr Yan will clearly not be happy with Dana for the Dominator to be given the next chance to challenge Henry Cejudo. Dominick has not been in the octagon for 3 years, I reckon. |

I reckon many of his critics might be beginning to listen to him after making the correct prediction of bitcoin dumped to $4k, 1 month before it occured hehehe. I can see Bitcoin rising to as high as $8,500-9,000 on this run up over the next month or two, after that I think it will pull back down but I don’t see Bitcoin falling under $5,000 again. If the economy continues to be poor, Bitcoin will probably not go up much because people will just not risk the money they have left on Bitcoin. As for end of 2020, I think Bitcoin will be around $10,000.Source https://dailyhodl.com/2020/04/26/analyst-tone-vays-predicts-12-month-bitcoin-btc-trajectory-says-three-factors-will-drive-people-into-crypto/ |

However, does the American dollar follow normal rules? The Federal Reserve have printed trillions more of their currency and putting the American citizens more under debt but the American dollar have risen against all the other currencies.

@Ronnie. I disagree. I reckon the movie studios will rush out more fantasy movies, scifi and more comic book super hero movies and block pandemic movies to distract everyone and pump the economy hehehe.
In any case, the next movie that might be very popular for rotten tomato ratings predictions and box office predictions is Dune. It will be released in December 20, 2020.

The service was going to close because it wasn't profitable for them anymore, probably they were losing money big time.
Roger Ver can do only two things, burn money to keep it running like it is in order to gain promotion for his other ventures or find a way to drastically reduce costs, nothing dramatically will change, if their way of earning is flawed you simply won't be making money out of it.
Probably some from Column A and some from Column B. They have an office in high-rent San Francisco, with 17 employees. They last raised seed money in 2016. They have probably never turned much profit, and have now burned through their venture capital. If the company were stripped down to the bare bones -- and with the added value Roger Ver will get from promoting BCH or his other ventures -- perhaps an acquisition makes sense. I don't know anyone else besides Roger Ver who has the money and unique incentives to make it worth it. I don't personally see much of a future for Purse.io, but I'm no business guru. Will purse.io transform into a scam political attack tool under Roger Ver's ownership or he should be cheered because he saved it? I reckon this question might be on some bitcoiners' heads with no answer hehehe. |

@bigslimvdub. I am supportive of Monero, however, have you tried running a node after RingCT update? Syncing it became harder and it might not be sustainable for longterm. Bullet proofs reduced the size of blocks, however. But still bigger than before RingCT.
@smooth. Is there more possibilty for Aeon to reduce the size of blocks?
